Stripped of her toxins and on trial for a crime she regrets, Verdi is no longer a huntress. Maria, the woman she loves, bears the scar Verdi gave her. She has forgiven Verdi, but Verdi hasn't forgiven herself. Determined to set things right, Verdi now stands before two capricious, nanite-enhanced Fae judges who deal in impossible tasks. Their first task? Spin a corrupt company's data into marketing gold.
Something a huntress was never trained to do. But the judges have enemies, and a broken bargain provides Verdi with unlikely allies: a silver-tongued dealmaker seeking a name the Fae erased, and a rogue hacker with a grudge, whose augmented theatrics lure his victims exactly where he wants them. If Verdi fails the trials, the judges won't just rob Maria of justice. They'll reprogram Verdi's mind and make her their perfect, beautiful weapon, incapable of being anything but a huntress.
Can Verdi assert her own voice before the Fae make her dance to their song? Continue Verdi's tale in this Rumpelstiltskin/Pied Piper retelling.
